I agree. Version 8 is a nightmare. Love version 6. nm

Sennheiser
I agree. I have had mine for a couple of years and love them.
Sennheiser head phones
Love them. They are not as expensive as the Bose, but they are just as good. They are, however, a little more expensive than your average headphones. They are lightweight, noise cancelling, and very comfortable. I bought my on ebay last year and got a great deal.
There must be more than one version. sm
The platform I've used at a couple different companies is very easy to use. One place I worked the database very seamless integrated with what was called Meditech word processor. Another company used the exact same thing except it actually integrated with MS Word.
I think Meditech Magic and Meditech Client may be two different things and I'm not entirely sure which one I've been using that I like so well, but I think it may be Client.
At any rate, the line count on it is really screwy...but that could be something that is set by the facility/program administrator.
They use version 6. nm

It's probably version 7.5.3.4.1 - every new version
And no, you won't find anyone to ask. On a weekend? Unheard of.
Yes, it is loaded with their version of DQS. nm

You'll have to ask KS which version of
Meditech it is. Every account is different. I have used Meditech Magic. I used it for years and so I like it and can be productive. There are other platforms that are much faster, but its all in what you get used to. I've heard that the latest version of Meditech is much faster than magic.
They were updated to a new version.

Does the version of Meditech
you will be using have an expander? The Meditech I work in does not, therefore I have to use InstantText or ShortHand for an expander.
I think MQ and DSG use the same version but this company I am with now does not. nm

here's the short version
I've been using it fairly steadily since November 2004. I've got DNS Medical version 9.5 with a really good microphone. Plus, I've put the time and effort into training the program. My typing speed has dropped over the years (maybe 70 wpm now) and I don't have the a particularly good memory as far as abbreviations go, so DNS is ideal for me. --- I lucked out 'cause I was able to upgrade to version 7 for about $99, and then the subsequent upgrades were not much more. The program works just fine for me, so I have no need to upgrade further.
If you want to want more in-depth information, email me and we'll chat. I just don't want to floor the board with things.
You get my vote
I am in full agreement. Whoever it is, I feel sorry for them because their entire life mus be miserable! Nasty, nasty attitude.
Actually the HOD will vote on a
name change .. there is a committee in place to make recommendations. I am not so sure that membership across the country wants to change the name (and it costs money) but the vote will be taken this summer. I guess what I wonder is which do you prefer .. the jobs going overseas or voice recognition creeping in and changing the lives of many of us? How do you have input if you do not become involved and speak for change and lobby for change and live and breathe it since it affects you so dramatically. The association works at the direction of the membership and so unlike previously, the board is made up of working MTs. We have created a world that is flat with the advent of the internet .. the cat is already out of the bag and all the salvos have been thrown. I can't really find a way to blame AAMT, but I sure can blame some of the bigger companies with their bean counters who are looking at money only, not patient care. I can blame the government who spoon feeds us information that is distilled and I can grumble all over the place, but nobody hears me except the dog. I have 32 years into this profession and I see it eroded daily by poorly trained personnel, inferior equipment, MTSOs who only see profit, and a medical community indifferent to the caliaber of work being put out by many who sit and scream the loudest. Then I come here and all I can say is .. oh boy!!
DSG also gets my vote! nm

one vote
Kind and professional people, great benefits, lots of work!
Here's another vote for MDI-MD
I would vote TT
I'm relatively new with TT. I love EXText, though, and have used it many many times in the past. Very user-friendly platform. All communication I have had with their company is awesome. They are very friendly and easy to work for. So far haven't had any difficult dictators.....perhaps difficult reports, don't want to mislead you. Pay is above-average after incentives, etc. So far also have not run out of work. I'm not one of the rah rah rah people for them, but in my experience I haven't seen a better MTSO and I have worked for several others in the past. Never MQ, but I'm scared of them. LOL I really think you would enjoy working for them. You may feel free to email if you've got any questions.
You got my vote!!!
I don't come here often but I cannot believe the behavior of this poster!!!!!
I would vote they probably have an ad somewhere
Maybe you're not aware of the situation of the whole company and they may be hiring based on future plans. If someone has received an offer, that's their business and you might not be aware of all things transpiring behind the scenes. If someone got an offer, maybe they should go for it based on other stats on the company.
Another vote for MDI-MD!
Expectations are high, but it's a great company.
Another vote for MDI
The good thing about the 5 reports/20 minutes, is that you can keep your current MT job (they actually suggest that you do) while trying out MDI. I've always found it scary to quit a job, jump to another company and immediately have a production quota to meet while still trying to figure out the new platform and account(s). Maybe I'm just a slow starter, but I really appreciated the limit on reports while in training. They do this with every new account you train on. I've bounced around some in this business, and starting with MDI was about the most comfortable transition I've experienced.
gets my vote for best so far!!
For all we know, it's a "dummied-down" version of the test...
Regardless, it seems to me to be a slap in the face to American CMTs.
The last InstantText I used was a very early version, so SM
I can't speak to that any more, but just wanted to stay that ShortHand is excellent and I also love it. But it is a very sophisticated program with a whole bunch of bells and whistles that you can use or not use as you choose.
KS/Meditech - PCshorthand version (sm)
Could someone at KS tell me if Meditech works with the NEW (10?) version of PCShorthand or should we download the last version out? (I have windows XP). Thanks for your help!
What version of Meditech does KS use? I've
read that the old Meditech version is horrible, but that Meditech Magic is much better. I think there is also a Pro version too.
Precyse uses it's own program that's a version of
working in Word. Easiest thing I have ever worked on.
I am talking about the Medical version - sm
the regular is a lot cheaper.
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
It's the 3rd-person version of MYOB -nm
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.
First Choice gets my vote! nm
MQ Monrovia gets my vote, too nm
Another vote for Interpro
:O
thanks for the vote of confidence..sm
 I just hate waiting...don't know why I'm stressing so much bout this, it's not like I don't have a job...thanks!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. It still would have been
them to have said while I was spending $500 to get a new computer
in order to type their work, that they probably would not have SE
in a couple of months, and just rent a computer until I could move over
to Employee status.
But you know what, when I was an employee they made it impossible to
make the lines in order to be an employee because I mostly crap and was
working 12 hours to get 1000 lines (and I know I can do acute care as
I have done this work for 20 years and had just left a hospital acute care setting where I had no problem making 1200 lines a day.
I'm just about ready to dump this whole thing. But thanks for your
reply. I'm still steamed that in dozens of phone calls my supervisor
couldn't have shared any of this with me. That's what she's there for.
Keytrokes has my vote!
I've only been there a few months...but the management is friendly and helpful, and my leads have been great. I agree with the other poster - wages are decent, benefits are good, work has been plentiful - what's not to like? Good luck! 
Keystrokes has my vote also
They have the best people to work for. My account has to be the best, plenty of work.
Another vote for Keystrokes (nm)
SoftScript has my vote
They have a courteous staff at every level. They offer a lot of support including matching new hires with experienced SoftScript MTs AND a real-time SS MT on messenger to answer sticky questions as you work. They pay promptly. They have a page full of contacts for every problem you can imagine, and my emails have always been answered promptly. If you run out of work, you can email them and be put on another account within an hour. They have classes so that you can train upwards. The platform is simple to use. There is a help page for every aspect of your MT work from the platform to lists of towns near the clincs you transcribe for. They are constantly making small improvements to help MTs. They are in regular email contact but they do not hassle you while you work. And, their line rate is competitive for a national. They even have a fun bonus program, and they write and say thank you (and to some of us, that does matter.)
Perhaps the old SoftScript was different, but the current SoftScript gets an A+ from me.
Keystrokes has my vote 110%
I work for Keystrokes and I love, love, love them. I am always left alone to do my work, and my account lead is the best! The employee intranet is so easy to use and it only takes a second to enter in your line counts at the end of your shift. At the end of the pay period, you just click on end pay period and you're done! They are also EXTREMELY flexible. I would recommend them to anyone.
VOTE NO FOR AMPHION
Amphion is the place to work if you really enjoy feeling used and abused.
Transcend gets my vote!
I agree with all of you - management cares, my ROM is great, my TL is great and I got a nice hand-signed card and gift card for the holidays. I have no idea where all the negativity comes from, but I can assure people that we have some very happy people on board.
My vote is for Keystrokes...
I love it there!!!
My vote is for Keystrokes!!!

I vote for Keystrokes...
I have been there for over 2-1/2 years and I love it...great company
The new version you can access line count.
Maybe you do not have good tech support or no one has shown you.
I like the account. The new version of the Dictaphone software was a little
glitchy at first but that seems to be getting worked out. My line count for the last couple of weeks has been getting much better and I find that I am able to get my lines fairly easily. All in all, I am glad I moved to this account.
I like Meditech. I am on the Magic version. I use an expander and sm
average 250 LPH, which is good for these tired old fingers.
You can download a free trial version of (sm)
Slycount. I have used it for a long time and find that it is very accurate.
